Roy Orbison – In Dreams (CD)

Roy Orbison occupied a singular space in early '60s rock and roll, a baritone operatic voice in a world of teenage heartbreak singles. Released in 1963, *In Dreams* collects some of his most enduring work, including the title track's haunting, dreamlike narrative and "Oh, Pretty Woman," a song so locked into the cultural memory it barely needs an introduction. Orbison wrote with a dramatic sweep that his contemporaries could only admire from a distance.
